Texas-Arlington, originally scheduled to join the WAC in 2013, will instead join the Sun Belt, the conference announced Wednesday. Commissioner Karl Benson said the conference isn’t looking for any more expansion in the immediate future. That’s a bad sign for Idaho, a current WAC member that hopes to remain a FBS program.

“We are not pursuing additional members at this time,” Benson said on a telephone conference call Wednesday. “To squelch speculation of a football championship game, it is not high on our radar screen and priority list…We wanted to be fair (to the schools that have contacted us). At this juncture, the Sun Belt shouldn’t be considered a landing spot whether it’s an FCS member or an existing FBS member.”
